If that's what helping does for you..
I was about six years old and shared a room with my younger sister. We'd been watching my folks decorating all day and it was time for bed.

Being a helpful sort of kid, I spotted an edge of wallpaper that had curled up and decided, monkey-see-monkey-do stylee that I would do my bit. Carefully I peeled the paper off the wall, getting a whole strip off in one go!

My sis, not wanting to miss out, had woken up and we decided to have a bit of a competition to see who could remove the most whole sheets. I can't remember who won but we were found the next morning, on the floor, surrounded by what had been freshly applied wallpaper. Oops.

Length? About seven and a half feet each.
